Is this the blackest day of shame for the West since the Munich Agreement butchered Czechoslovakia and handed it to the Nazis as a sacrificial offering, without even bother to consult the Czechs. At least Chamberlain and Daladier had the poor excuse of genuinely thinking they were buying ‘peace in our time’. Anthony Albanese is solely fixated on buying votes at any cost.
Hamas wasted no time celebrating their massive win for terrorism over decency.
Hamas militants have publicly executed three Palestinian men they accused of collaborating with Israel.
The men, blindfolded and with their hands tied, were forced to kneel in front of a large crowd before militants read them their “sentence”, raising their guns in the air as they did so […]
The executions came as Australia joined with the UK and Canada in recognising an independent state, a move praised by Hamas as representing “a victory for Palestinian rights and the justice of our cause”, and saying it would “send a clear message” to Israel.
The UK prime minister, who shares with Albanese the distinction of somehow winning a landslide result with a near-record-low primary vote, is also finding out just how rewarding terrorists works out.
Keir Starmer’s controversial decision to recognise a state of Palestine could lead to demands for the UK to pay more than £2 trillion in reparations to the country, legal experts have said […]
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who has a long history of threatening to sue Britain, is demanding ‘reparations in accordance with international law’ based on the value of the land which was under British rule between 1917 and 1948.
What else did they expect?
Meanwhile, if Albanese is expecting the US president to reward him by finally meeting him, he’s clearly got another think coming.
The White House has all but confirmed there will be no one-on-one meeting between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in New York during the United Nations General Assembly this week.
In announcing Mr Trump’s itinerary for his roughly 24 hours in New York, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has listed his meetings, with no mention of Anthony Albanese.
Mr Trump will have bilateral meetings with the UN secretary-general and the leaders of Ukraine, Argentina and the European Union.
He will also attend a multilateral meeting with Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Türkiye, Pakistan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.
Trump will talk to literally anyone rather than have to endure Albanese blatherskiting about how he ‘grew up in a council house’. Let alone put up with lunatic drivel like this:
“In recognising Palestine, Australia recognises the legitimate and long-held aspirations of the Palestinian people. That means more than a seat, a voice and a vote in the councils of the world. It means real hope for a place they can call home,” [Albanese] said.
“This is the same hope that sustained generations of Jewish people.”
Is this man a complete idiot, or just the most oily liar on the face of the planet? The only aspiration the ‘Palestinians’ have harboured for the last 80 years is wiping the Jewish state off the face of the map and eliminating the Jewish people.
Albanese’s idiotic delusions don’t stop there.
Anthony Albanese’s impassioned speech to the UN’s two-state summit is a feel-good road map to nowhere. Why? Because Australia’s premature recognition of Palestine as a state comes with conditions that are more fantasy than reality, such as the wholesale reform of the corrupt Palestinian Authority and the complete disarming, surrender and disappearance of Hamas.
Showing some rare backbone, Liberal stopgap leader Sussan Ley is pledging to reverse Albanese’s shameful move.
Australia would reverse its decision on Palestinian state recognition if there is a change of government in Australia, the country’s opposition leader and Liberal Party head, Sussan Ley, told Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Sa'ar later revealed in a X/Twitter post on Monday.
Ley, believing that Australia’s decision rewards Hamas, noted her disappointment at “this break with bipartisanship and reiterated the coalition’s long-held position that recognition must only come at the end of a genuine two-state process,” she wrote, also in a X/Twitter post. “Now is the wrong time while Hamas holds hostages and while conflict still rages.”
The Australian official added that she spoke up for the concerns of her country’s Jewish community and the rise of antisemitism, as well as the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. She then expressed her hope for the remaining 48 hostages in Gaza to be released, as well as for a halt to the fighting.
It’s about time she stood for something.
Critics might object that, under the Montevideo Convention, recognition is irrevocable, which is true, but, under the same convention, recognising ‘Palestine’ is blatantly illegal.
Remember that, the next time the left blatherskites about ‘international law’.
